Such a cool dude... I especially love how everything is slightly under exposed with lots of color contrast.. It would be a pipe dream if him and Nolan reunited again

Amazing cinematographer

[@AntchonyDriver]

The legend!

True

[@justaman9724]

I wonder if he'll ever direct a movie again?

I’m gonna do a quick add for the WiFi in the car.
Wally: “Fuck look how they’re destroying the place.”

Love Wally, but he didn't create the visuals for those films...Chris did. Wally executed them on set under Chris's direction

You clearly don't understand the relationship between a director and a Cinematographer....

[@SuperBajack]

@@sanelendlovu1893 Yes, I do. A cinematographer executes a director's vision, unless said director doesn't have a vision or opens it up to the DP for collab (in which case its still the director's vision). Unless Nolan is overrated/hyped, which would go against essentially everything I've read about him, as well as the fact that he shot a film all by himself in the 90s when that was actually hard, it stands to reason their collaboration was one where Wally absorbed Chris's vision, and they worked together to figure out how to translate it to film.
Wally called Chris his "master" when he accepted the Oscar in 2010 btw

@@SuperBajack "Wally absorbed Chris's vision, and they worked together to figure out how to translate it to film." There you go. That's how it works. You can't say that Wally Pfister didn't create those visuals, because that means Christopher Nolan shot those films himself. Dang, even Chris and Wally can't take all the credit. There is still the Production Design... Be careful not to give directors too much credit. Film is a collaborative process all the way.#filmmaker #writerdirector

@@sanelendlovu1893 I can see why you thought I wasn't crediting Wally. What I meant was that they worked together but it was Chris's vision. The way Wally said he was the visual storyteller made me think he was taking credit for images and a story that Chris came up with, which sometimes happens between DPs and Directors when the DP feels like they should get credit for the director's work. And I'm speaking from experience as a fellow writer-director :-)
